I know I harp on this topic in almost each newsletter and at meetings. We need to recruit new and younger members. This is the lifeline of any organization. When was the last time you earnestly invited someone to a meeting or told someone about the SCV. There are many persons that have an interest in The War and their Confederate Heritage but in today's political climate they are leary of belonging to such an organization, one in which they probably know very little about. If you have had a guest at a meeting recently let's follow up on this person and see if they are interested in joining. Our next meeting will be on Thursday August 24, 2017 at Seawell's Restaurant at 6:00 pm. Our program for the evening will be presented by Tom Elmore and his topic will be Potter's Raid. Page 1 of 8 LT. COMMANDER’S TENT LAYNE WATERS ~~ Events of August ~ This Month (August), in 1862, witnessed the Second Battle of Manassas, another major victory of Confederate arms against superior Union forces. This crushing Union loss added additional luster to Gen Robert E. Lee’s ever-growing reputation as a brilliant field commander. After the early summer collapse of the Union Peninsula Campaign of- fensive to capture Richmond, Robert E. Lee sought to move his army north and threaten Washington DC before Union forces could regroup. His trusted and highly capable 1st and 2nd corp. commanders, Maj. Gen. "Stone- wall" Jackson and Lieut. Gen. James Longstreet, brought Lee's army within 35 miles of the Union capital by the end of August. Jackson, who had burned the Federal supply depot at Manassas Junction on August 27th, waited for the arriving Union army just west of the old Bull Run battlefield. Longstreet, trailing Jackson, fought his way eastward through Thorough- fare Gap. The next day, in order to draw Maj. Gen. John Pope’s new Union Army of Virginia into battle, Jack- son ordered an attack on a Federal column that was passing across his front on the Warrenton Turnpike late on the 28th. The fighting there at Brawner Farm lasted several hours and resulted in a stalemate. Pope became convinced he had trapped Jackson and concentrated the bulk of his army against him. On the 29th, Pope launched a series of assaults against Jackson’s position along an unfinished railroad grade. The attacks were repulsed with heavy casualties on both sides. At noon, Longstreet arriving on the field, took position on Jackson’s right flank. The afternoon of the 30th, Pope renewed his attacks, unaware that Longstreet was on the field. After massed Confeder- ate artillery had devastated the Union assault by Maj. Gen. Fitz John Porter’s Fifth Corps, Longstreet’s 28,000 men counterattacked in the largest, simultaneous mass assault of the war. The Union left flank was crushed and the army driven back to Bull Run. Only an effective Union rearguard action prevented a replay of the First Manassas disaster. Maj. Gen. Maj. Gen. Lt. Gen. Maj. Gen. Fitz John Porter John Pope James Longstreet Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson Page 2 of 8 CHAPLAINS WITNESS WALTER LINDLER THE ROLE OF THE CONFEDERATE CHAPLAIN I Know how I try to fulfill the duties as our camp chaplain and how sometimes it is a depressing yet heart- warming duty. I am sure reading out the tasks of our civil war chaplains they duties were a lot more intense and spread from one end of the Southern States to the other and all over the east coast. These chaplains brought the word of God through the gospels to those in the battlefield and also to those wounded and in hospital camps. Unfortunately, like the modern-day ministers it was their duties to issue final rites to those who had died in the war and performed burial services. “Stonewall” Jackson asked if they preached the gospel. Chaplain B.T. Lacy of the Second Corps explained. “The Gospel hurts no man at any time under any circumstances.” Chaplain William E. Wiatt of the 26thVirgiia Regiment noted in his diary that he visited hospitals and read a portion of Luke 23 too Cooke and talked and prayed with him saying that he tried to direct him to Jesus Christ.” O Lord, convert his soul! This did reveal the heart of gospel Chaplains in the CSA. The sacrifices and service of the Confederate Chaplains for Christ have not received the attention that they are rightfully due. The Scripture says, “Render therefore to all their dues: Tribute to whom Tribute is due …. honour to whom honour.” (Romans 3:17) Consider what God has said about this concept. Here are some of the major honorees Sharing, with you some of the honorees. God is the first and best of beings! Paul wrote to Timothy, “Now unto the king eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen! (Tim 1:17) God promised “them that honor me, I will honor, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed” (1 Samuel 2:30) “He that honourest not the Son honourest not the Father which hath sent him” (John 5:23) “And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby, ye are sealed unto the day of redemption” (Eph. 4:30) Chaplain Randolph H. McKim of the 2nd Virginia Cavalry concluded “A man cannot repent of an act done in the fear of God and under the best of conscience…We cannot regret obeying the most solemn and scared dictates of duty as we saw it.” Chaplain B.H. Hill of Georgia declared. “Martyrs owe no apologies to tyrants.” We must honor those whom God has put in ministerial authority over us, “Obey them that have the rule over you and submit your- selves: for they watch for your souls, as they must give account, that they may do it with joy and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.” Yes, the confederate chaplains should not go unnoticed. They should be remembered for all they contrib- uted to the civil war “LORD GOD WE GIVE THANKS FOR THOSE WHO SHARED YOUR MINISTRY TO ALL OUR CONFEDERATE SOILDERS, BRINGING THE SOME PEACE KNOWING THAT THEY SERVED AND THOSE WHO DIED DID NOT DIE IN VAIN.” AMEN Chaplains Prayer List: Please remember our camp compatriots and their family members who are having health problems or have lost a loved one in your prayers. Bob and Ursula Slimp Ben Boyd Bill and Ann Smyth Page 3 of 8 ADJUTANT’S DESK CHARLIE BRAY Compatriots, just when I thought things could not get worse, the incident in Charlottesville, VA occurred. The moment radical groups like the “White Nationalist” became involved with the Lee statue removal, I knew the media would intensify its already non-stop rhetoric to remove all things Confederate. In the case of Char- lottesville, VA, it does not matter what the SCV tries to do in the future via the courts and peaceful protest, we will be painted with the same brush as the hate group(s) that were involved. The process for removing our mon- uments will speed up as councilmen, mayors, and governors respond to the pressure by removing Confederate soldier monuments. The first known incident of this occurred a few hours after the Charlottesville tragedy. The mayor of Lexington, Kentucky, announced he is speeding up the relocation of Confederate statues in the wake of Saturday’s violent clashes and the car-ramming incident in Charlottesville.

Jim will reinvigorate each of us in a program titled, Southern Heritage Explained. Jim will remind us of our rich Southern heritage and culture. You will be enlightened, enriched and entertained. COMMANDERS CORNER TERRY HUGHEY What next? What do we do now? Will it ever stop? I want each of us to think of our current struggle to preserve our Confederate soldier’s good name, as well as our southern virtues and culture, along with our Christian faith as a 15 round world championship title bout. The first round, summer of 2015, we were knocked down hard. Yes, we were staggered as the blow was an unexpected mass murder perpetrated by a mad man which resulted in what has to be as the most perfect media storm ever seen. As we strive to fight back into round 2, and tried to regain our composure we were struck several more times to our chin, our stomach and several illegal blows to our groin. Our own corner tried to throw in the towel, as they abandoned us in the fight of the Century. Yes, we have made it to round 2 and have thrown some punches of our own. Our first punch landed on Saturday, August 29 with a 80 vehicle flag caravan around Columbia two times.

  • Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction
    Confederate Wooden Gunboat Construction: Logistical Nightmare By Adam C. Edmonds May, 2011 Director of Thesis: Lawrence E. Babits, Ph.D. History Department The Confederate States Navy built wooden gunboats throughout the American Civil War. Within Civil War literature, more research and detailed analysis of Confederate States Navy construction focuses on building of ironclad vessels. Wooden gunboat construction is largely ignored. This thesis examines wooden gunboat construction in two different areas of the Confederacy: northeastern North Carolina in Washington and Elizabeth City, and the Mars Bluff Navy Yard in South Carolina. Before presenting two Confederate wooden gunboat construction case studies, a look at Confederate industrial, manufacturing, and transportation infrastructure, from the national perspective, brings into focus the logistical limitations station commanders faced in northeastern North Carolina and at Mars Bluff more clearly. Scattered, yet interdependent, marine manufacturing and ordnance facilities, connected by a suspect transportation network, created a logistical nightmare. Historical investigation into wooden gunboat construction in Washington, Elizabeth City, and Mars Bluff, examines an overlooked Confederate States Navy building program.
